Well technically the rules are that it needs to be 'built up' or 'broken down'. That's about as detailed as it gets though. So the idea is that you either start with it and animate it away somehow, or animate the cards in and end up with the structure. You're free to choose anything within those constraints though.

Cheers

Marc

P.S. Looks great so far :)

Hey Thanks ppl. I need to learn UV map and what not.. have never tried it out properly.

Was trying animating it but it didn't work, plus it will take years to render it on my machine.. has anyone got any clue on how to speed things up?

Good Luck Photex.. eager to see your update too.

I think the trick would be to not actually use fully geometry for the cards but to do render time instancing. Probably use File Procedurals aka Delay Load shaders. eg.

Okay, did learn a little of UV Mapping too. And now here it is... looks like this will be my final version. I still need to clean out the redundant nodes. :unsure:

Hope you guys like it. It was wonderful experience coming from zero to making this model in Houdini and learnt quite a lot of processes. I would like to thank the Houdini Subscription list that helped me know more about how to make this. Thanks to odforce.net to make me actually wanting to do this. :rolleyes:
